Let's discuss our sister school...

[EllToPay]

Preferably would not like to become a 1 seed at our sibling's expense, but why are they the fourth 1 seed? Same overall record in a weaker conference, amirite?

Only want HBBIQ answers here, please. tia.

Duke:

Record vs. RPI
1-50 8 - 3
51-100 6 - 0
101-200 8 - 1 
201+ 3 - 0

K-State:

Record vs. RPI
1-50 7 - 3
51-100 2 - 1
101-200 11 - 0 
201+ 3 - 0

Better in more opportunities vs Top 100 teams.  That's about it though. 

We are 7-1 on the road, they are 6-4. 

Our SOS is 7, they are 8.

Duke #2 overall RPI, 1-2 against RPI No. 1-25 (1 win at home, 0-2 on the road), Non-con SOS rank is 32, overall SOS is 8

K-State #5 overall RPI, 4-1 against RPI No. 1-25 (3-1 @ home, 1-0 on the road), Non-con SOS rank in 26, overall SOS is 7

Duke getting a #1 seed over K-State is somewhat east coast ignorance/tradition. With a win over ku wed and/or advancing to Sat in the Dr. Pepper....I don't see how logically Duke getting a 1 seed over KSU works

This year is great.  Last year we complained about SOS/opportunities keeping us out of the dance.  Now we it is being questioned in why we are #5 vs #4.

Been a great year.

I heard on the radio that it was because they won their conference.
